The Scottish Tourism Alliance’s ‘Raising Our Game’ Midsummer conference at the Westerwood Hotel in Cumbernauld last week provided the venue for the launch of a new free business support helpline for tourism businesses in Scotland.
The new helpline, which is delivered in partnership with The Buell Group, will offer the most comprehensive advisory and service resource for the tourism sector. STA Members will have access to a specialised grouping of some 40 experienced business associates and partners who support hospitality and leisure organisations with a range of services and expertise ranging from legal to financial, marketing to recruitment, and development to design.
STA Alliance and Associate members will be entitled to 4 x 30 minutes free advice calls with The Buell Group, and STA Affiliate members will have the benefit of 12 x 30 minutes free advice calls via the new helpline.
Strong package of benefits
Speaking about the launch of the new business support service, Marc Crothall, CEO of the STA commented; “STA Membership continues to grow each week and we remain committed to continuing to add value to our Members and their businesses and organisations. Relationships and Engagement represents one of the four strands of the STA’s strategic framework, Information Gateway being another, and this new service fits extremely well with our ambitions to build on these relationships with our Members and deliver a strong package of benefits, unique to the STA which fits with our Membership proposition. Through this new partnership with The Buell Group we’re now able to provide a dedicated, free helpline delivered by a handpicked range of trusted partners with tourism sector knowledge and experience.”
Roddy Watt, CEO of The Buell Group commented; “We are delighted to be working with the STA to support the development of excellence in Scottish tourism, and to support the STA with its tourism growth strategy ambitions.”
